Have you seen the answer to this I sent you in my reply to your
offlist email? If not, reread the mail. If yes, and you still don't
see the problem: which part of
DECLARE name [ BINARY ] [ INSENSITIVE ] [ [ NO ] SCROLL ]
CURSOR [ { WITH | WITHOUT } HOLD ] FOR query
[ FOR { READ ONLY | UPDATE [ OF column [, ...] ] } ]
does allow for "DECLARE curs1 refcursor"? The answer is simple:
none. You're trying to use a plpgsql declaration outside plpgsql.
